I couldn't agree more. You said what I've been thinking. Pitino
needs a training camp for coaching in the pros.

Subject: Drumbeats on the perimeter
Again Pitino goes with a different starting lineup and didn't
keep the same starting lineup to start the 2nd half. Man, what has to going
to through VP's mind? I mean, Battie was playing great but you know he is not
going to be your starting center when you play any team with a real center...
How about Walker. I mean, he is obviously having an off-game. Shouldn't you
take him out? Especially after he jacked up that instant 3 and he got
deservedly booed? Again I ask, is this a developmental team? Aren't we trying
to establish a set rotation with regular substitutions? Shouldn't we
discipline a player for repeatedly making bad judgements? Is Pitino expecting
Walker to learn from failure? Why don't we involve Pierce more in the
offense, like post him up more? He can pass out of the post double team. Why
aren't we looking for VP inside? With VP, Pierce and if Walker gets his head
out of his butt, we should be able to play inside-out instead of outside-in.
AND THE BIGGEST QUESTION. WHY ARE STILL DOUBLING ON DEFENSE??? ESPECIALLY
WHEN WE GOT A THREE POINT LEAD WITH 30 SECONDS LEFT! I mean, Rick is
getting paid millions of dollars to coach this team. I think he has done a
great job of assembling it. I'm still willing to give him the benefit of the
doubt. Maybe there is more behind the scenes than what we know about. But is
there a method to this coaching madness?....
